President Donald Trump portrayed the upcoming midterm elections as the battle for America’s survival at the GOP convention Saturday in North Carolina. This from thepostmillennial.com.
Trump was the keynote speaker over the weekend at the 2021 North Carolina Republican Party convention held in the city of Greenville. The appearance marked the 45th president’s second public speech since leaving office in January and following the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in February.

The line echoes elements of Trump’s 2020 campaign when he warned that Democrats were intent on destroying American values of freedom and independence. “Together, we are going to defend our freedoms, we are going to stand up for our values, and we are going to take back our country!” Trump said.
Trump also took the opportunity to air grievances about the 2020 electoral loss. “More votes than any sitting president in the history of the United States by far,” Trump positioned the election results. “Bad things happened,” he summarized.
Whatley added via NCGOP media advisory that it was an honor to welcome Trump to the annual convention, which he said will serve as the kickoff for the campaign to retake Congress and the Senate in the 2022 midterms. Trump vowed to pour efforts into the upcoming midterm elections and help the Republicans gain enough seats in the House and the Senate to take control over both chambers of Congress.
Trump said via recorded GOP fundraising video uploaded to YouTube by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Senate GOP’s fundraising arm, on Friday that Republicans will “take back the Senate, take back the House, we’re going to take back the White House—and sooner than you think.”

Facebook declared Friday that Trump will be banned from Facebook and Instagram for two years, effective from the date of the initial suspension on Jan. 7 Last month, the company’s Oversight Board upheld Facebook’s suspension of Trump following the Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6. At the end of the period, Facebook will decide whether the “risk to public safety has receded.”
The U.S. Senate, the U.S. House, and the U.S. Presidency all Republican in 2022, if not before. God speed to all those ongoing state 2020 election audits.
